Looks Bad for Casper.

LA CROSSE, Sept. 4.-Last night the
hotel on the north side known as Fro
kOck's place was gutted by fire. The
building belonged to Jacob Dresser and
was worth several thousand dollars.
The house had lately been run by
William Casper. A few days ago Cas-
per sent his family to Savannah, ILL.,. to
attend the wedding of daughter, and
announced that he would close the
house for a few days and go down for
the same purpose. 1t was reported that
he was going to leave the city perma-
nently, but he publicly announced in
newspaper last night that he would be
back in few days. He left OH the
Burlington train at 1905 p. m. and the
fire broke out. about midnight. The
firemen discovered dishes of kerosene
on the floors of the rooms and the floors
were saturated with kerosene, and the
windows tightly closed with blankets.
There were also candles on the floors.
held upright by bits of tallow. 1t is
alleged that recently Casper has shipped
most of his furniture from the city. He
had 81, 500 insurance, and the stuff re-
naming in the house was not worth
$500, so the police say. The presump-
ton is that he fixed his torches and
fastened to the train," expecting to be
beyond the reach of suspicion when the
fire broke out. On notice by telegraph
he was arrested and is in Jail at

SUET VS.. SUITS.

The PunSter and Author Who Reps

Has Kicked Up a FrightfuI Conn
motion BY the Printing of Two
Juicy Scandals.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-"When YOU
have another scandal please order 800
extra copies of the GLoBE,'' said
French Queen at the National hotel
news stand this afternoon.
''Why, what is the matter?''
''Matter enough. Last Monday YOU
published what was headed as Two
Juicy Scandals and l have had people
calling for the paper ever since. l be-
lieve l could have sold over three hum
dred extra copies if had had them.''
Besides the above evidence of the fact
that the GLOBE is eagerly read in Wash
ington, it may as well be said that the
correspondent has prospect of little
suit either for libel or SANDER on his
hands. But he has enough suet on his
bones to stand suits of that class ad
Gbitum. The fact is, the chief in the
poStoffice department, who has been
under surveillance for some time, is one
of the Old-time friends of the cor
respondent and would have been
shielded in this quarter out for sense
of duty to the newS-reading patrons of
the peoples paper. Murder will out;
and if a chief of division, who is mar
ried man, will make love openly, in Of
flee hours, to chit of a girl who has
had similar experience before, he must
expect that the denouement will come
sooner or later. The only thing
which excites comment here is that the
postmaster general left the city without
making change in the office. The
proofs were before him, and they were
plain and unquestionable as holy writ
itself. True, the office is one of trust
and great difficulty, as well as profit
and it would be wise to take time to Sc
lect good man to fill it-but, the man
who holds it appears to be unworthy,
and his retention is likely to bring seam
dial upon the department. His place
should have been filled at once. How
ever, it was not supposed that the OBJ
servant reporter would be on the spot,
and so hot on the scent, as events have
developed. The matter is now the talk
of the town. The secret is out.
In the matter of the eX-auditOr, or
deputy of the treasury department.,
there seems to be bewilderment ON all
hands. No names have been men-
toned, and there seems to be wonder
ment as to who the guilty one may be.
He is a man of whom the deputy sixth
auditor says: HE used to have women
running here constantly after him, but
that has been stopped. What he does
outside of the department can only be
considered by the secretary, or Mr..
Higgins, if it is bringing scandal upon
the department" Let the guesSerS
guess, with this pointer, and there will
be not less than 500 who can name the
man and save him the humiliation of
direct publicity.
There is likely to be funny thing of
it all, because the man in the postoffice
department, although not named, has
recognized his picture and threatened a
libel suit. That is confession all suf-
ticient. As | said above, and as has
been remarked by several other authors
hitherto, Murder will out"

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 4.-The
Union and Advertiser publishes the fol-
lowing: Count Mitklrewicz, whose
name is prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the plans of a Philadelphia
sydicate in China, formerly lived in this
city, having married Miss Caroline Les
ter, daughter of Ralph Lester, who was
a wealthy banker here. The count met
Miss Lester while she was travelling.
Her mother srenuously objected to the
union. but the girl was infatuated and
Mrs. Lester had to consent. Owing to
the counts rather shaky reputation the
couple went but little into society. even
the dearest friends of Lester hesitating
to entertain the alleged adventurer. He
was not contented here, though he lived
very indolent life, passing most of his
time playing billiards. He is said to
have thought when he married Miss
Lester that he had captured an Ameri-
can heireSs. but he found afterward
that Mr.. Lester had so tied up his prop
erty that Miss Lester had only COM
Portable income. The count, as remem-
bered by his friends here, was not hand
some nor especially agreeable, though
he was tall and had good figure.
He was then about thirty years old
and the couple lived on the old Roches-
ter homestead, on Lake avenue, since
turned into convent. The count spoke
English perfectly and several other
languages. His treatment of his wife
was such that she was obliged to seek
separation and she died few months
after leaving him. This was about
three years ago. Several children were
born to them and the little ones are now
in the care of the wires family. After
leaving here the count engaged in the
milk business at Geneva and afterwards
went to Baltimore, where it is said he
started in similar business, but later
engaged in schemes" Numerous
judgments are said to be recorded
against him, one for $2O,955, being in
favor of man now living in Massachu-
setts. He will no doubt be glad to hear
of the counts success in China. The
counts claim to being a Russian noble
man was not disputed at first, but there
is story going the rounds here that he
was once the valet of nObleman. He
used to claim relationship with Lord

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-Sugar ia
likely to lose its sweetness to the East
ern refiners, owing to Southern con-
tracts. The American sugar refiners Of
this city found out that they have still
more sugar than they can conveniently
handle, and they are again intending to
ease up their refining capacities by
dumping another cargo or two of raw on
tne New York market. The sugar crop
OF OF M tne Hawaiian islands last year was
95,0OO tons, of which the American re-
hnery took 10000, and has within the
last few days taken 1900 tons more
from Spreckles. This gives it II. 5.OOO.
and now that it has got it, it asks:
wv hat will we do with it?'' sSend il tO

stated, OF trying to close Spreckles out

IL is believed, will retaliate with beets.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The avoidance of
bloodshed at Ballycoree Hill to-day is
considered almost miraculous, as every
body had made up their minds that a
conflict would occur. The fortunate re-
suit is attributable to the coolneSS. dis
cipline and good management of the
Nationalist managers, and not at all to
any good judgment on the part of the
authorities. The sending of large
bodies of troops to the immediate vicin-
ity is condemned as an imprudent move.
1t was a clear violation of the principle
that military forces should not be called
into requisition until the civil powers
have announced their inability to pre-
serve order. But these settings aside
of constitutional precedentS have be-
come too common to make the Ennis
episode a specially remarkable one on
that account. The usual policy of the
parliamentary leaders has been to avoid
all riOtOuS resistance to authority. lest
English sentiment be provoked against
the Irish people and the coming of home
rule be delayed. But, in regard to to-
days events, it is
"A SINGULAR FACT
that many of the leaders were willing
to resist an attack, being impressed
with the belief that the English masses
were totally opposed to the govern
ment's arbitrary course and would SYM
pathize with the Irish defenders of the
right of free speech. This fact, taken
in connection with the truculent atti-
tude of the authorities, is what renders
the peaceful outcome of the days pro-
ceedingS so remarkable. As sample
of the bitterness of Tory feeling in re-
gard to the meeting, an extract from
violent editorial in the Dublin Mail, a
castle organ, may be cited. The writer
said:
If any unfOrtunates are wounded OF slain
in this affair, the victims will not include Mr..
O'Brien, Mr.. Dillon or Mr. Sullivan The
leaders urge; they do not lead. Their places
are at the rear, not in the van.
The event gave the lie to this diatribe,
however, as the leaders named took an
active part in the demonstration. The
forces of the leaguers were divided into
two partieS-a device which has proved
successful on more than one previous
occasion i'll nOnplusing the government

BAD FOR COTTON.
Serious Results of the Drouth in
the Memphis District.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 4.-The regu-
lar monthly cotton crop report for the
Memphis district, which embraces Ten
nessee, North Mississippi, North Ar
kansas and North Alabama, to be pub
lished tomorrow by Hill, Fontaine &
Co., will say: The f1attering prospects
which were shown in our July report
have been dispeQed. A drouth has pre-
vailed in all the four states, extending
from the middle Of July up to the pres
ent, and the result has been
most disastrous to the cotton
crop. What promised six weeks ago
to be the largest yield ever known
within the district, has been cut short
by drouth, rust and worms to below an
yield viii fall far short of last year.
This is particularly true of Tennessee
and portions of Arkansas, Mississippi
and Alabama. 1t is only 25 per cent,
making the average for the district of
30M per cent. The great damage that
has been sustained is best shown when
it is stated that there is raised
annually within the Memphis dis
trict 1,350,000 bales of cotton
and the promised yield is cut
short 415,000 bales alone, within this dis
trict. Picking has commenced in every
section and will be general throughout
the district by the 10th instant. The
season is fully two weeks early, which,
together with the premature opening of
bolls, caused by drouth, the receipts up
to date are largely in excess of any
previous year. Corn has suffered, but
not to the extent of cotton. Good crops
are reported from Mississippi and Ala
bama, while the yield in Arkansas and
Tennessee is only an average.

The Nevada Banks Condition
After the Late Wheat Deal.
Special to the Globe.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-The col
lapse of the late wheat deal continues
to occupy public attention. The conun-
drum that the street is trying to solve is
whether the Nevada bank has been a
winner or loser. Up to the present
moment it is quien sabe case. 1t is
known that the bank advanced an
average of S1.25 a GENITAL on 100000
tons, or S7,500,000 When Dresbach &
ROsenfeld were forced to admit their
inability to meet their obligations with
the Shorts" and had to throw 6,0OO
tons of wheat over the hammer, the
greatest fears were entertained that the
price would go to S1.25 or less, and per-
hapS nowhere in the state were the
fears greater than within the doors of
the Bank of Nevada. When it was an
nOunced that the prices realized were
S1.2215 to S1.27 the bankers and grangers
breathed freer. The prices sustained
the banks advances and made the
CHANGERS GRIN
at the prospect of a marked improve
ment in short time. That prices will
go up is certain, and now the question
comes in, if the bank has to take the
wheat, how much will it clear on it?
Some rapid calculators affirm that John
W. Mackay has always been sure of his
ground and that he will come out of it,
and clear million and half ahead.
They say that an advance of Sl.45 a
GENITAL will assure him of this, no matter
if European crops are a good average.
England, they add, is S,O0O,000 quarters
short on home consumption, which seems
enough to settle the question. Max
ing every allowance for what might be
called idle talk, in regard to figures, it
is beginning to dawn on the average
